Sweet memories of youth. What a time when we where young and the whole world was open.

This gives me goosebumps. Reminds me of when I was young and had it all in front of me. I was slim, pretty and outgoing. Its funny how life can turn out. I'm not plump, plain and would rather stay home and listen to David on youtube. Sad eh?! But whilst listening to this, I'm transported back in time....

hell o thanks for posting - have not listened to this for many years - it is a great piece. - if you like it you should try this too: search for: "Arvo Pärt Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten" which is requiem piece too

Thanks for the response, manced42. We are a similar age as I'm 43 in September and certainly share the same deep regard of quality emotional music. Cheers mate.

Have to agree with you funeral wise im now 43 and have loved all that David Sylvian has ever done but this 1 song goes way deeper than even the haunting Ghost ever did its just got that inner soul thing with his voice and if you dont connect then you just wont understand.

I always thought I would like this wonderful song played at my funeral. Sorry for the morbid thought but I can't think of a more beautiful song that has ever been recorded, quite honestly... P.S. Don't worry... this is NOT a cry for help. I am not going anywhere soon! I love life!!

if this masterpiece does not move you then you have no soul or are devoid of feelings classic
